Wendy Silveira

Wendy Silveira, born and raised in South Africa, has been a life-long passionate gardener of edibles and ornamentals. Faced with a lack of plant varieties in South Africa, she spearheaded a campaign to import Chinese Tree peonies and English cottage garden plants, which she developed into a successful mail-order business. Moving to the United States, she and her husband morphed the peony business into a successful website. Wendy is a natural educator; whether lecturing on the garden club circuit, contributing to gardening magazines, or teaching English for many years. The next logical step was to share her gardening knowledge. Garden guru, educator, wordsmith and entrepreneur, Wendy brings a fresh perspective to your gardening bookshelf.
